'Community' Danny Pudi: 'Michael K Williams is a great addition'

Community star Danny Pudi has described Michael K Williams as a "beast".

Williams, who has previously starred in shows such as The Wire and Boardwalk Empire, is joining Community's third season as a professor who has just left prison.

Pudi, who plays Abed, has now told New York Magazine that Williams's character is "this menacing kind of guy".

"He's charismatic and you're captivated by him," he said. "But you're also scared. It's a very interesting dynamic."

Pudi also revealed that he has enjoyed working with Williams, saying: "He's a beast. Last year was genre-heavy, and the characters were going on a lot of adventures. Right away with Michael K Williams, and also John Goodman, there's a lot of intensity, an outside threat.

"He's a great addition. He doesn't take a lot of bulls**t. And it's fun to see a character who doesn't take a lot of bulls**t dealing with a group that is all bulls**t."
